New Weapons for You

He looked at Lin Guangren again, pressed a finger between the child's eyebrows, and used his Divine Sense to send the "Myriad Spirits Return to Origin Instruction" into it. Lin Guangren's head was throbbing and aching, his little face turned red, but he gritted his teeth and didn't utter a sound, enduring it.

"Eat this pill."

Lin Guangren took the Vein Opening Pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

"Later, I'll guide you by channeling my energy from behind. Just follow my Spiritual Qi; wherever there's a blockage, just rush towards it, understand?"

"Understood, Uncle."

Lin Guangren sat cross-legged, and Shen Jingchuan placed a palm on his back, slowly channeling Spiritual Power into him to guide the medicinal power to gradually clear the blocked meridians. It took a full half hour to finally clear them. Lin Guangren trembled all over in pain, his clothes soaked with sweat.

Shen Jingchuan took out two more Spirit Stones and placed them in his hands.

"Following the method I just taught you, absorb the Spiritual Qi from this Spirit Stone and circulate it through one Greater Celestial Circuit to stabilize it."

Lin Guangren did as instructed, and after completing one cycle, his breathing gradually became steady.

"It's done." Shen Jingchuan breathed a sigh of relief. "You've now entered the Qi Refining stage and are a proper cultivator."

He then took out fifty Spirit Stones and placed them on the table.

"Keep these safe. Use them when you're cultivating. If you need more, just ask your uncle."

"Thank you, Uncle!" Lin Guangren accepted the gift with both hands, nodded heavily, and suddenly knelt down with a thud. "Uncle, from now on... from now on I'll call you Master, okay?"

Shen Jingchuan smiled and helped him up.

"No need, wouldn't it be better if I were your uncle? We're all family."

Lin Guangren grinned.

"Okay, then I'll still call you uncle!"

The two left the house.

Lin Shan, Lin Yue, and Hu Tieniu were in another room, discussing a counterattack against the Government Army.

Inside the courtyard, five women with five children were still waiting. They had been waiting for so long, but none of them had left.

As soon as Lin Guangren stepped out the door, he ran straight to his mother's place.

"Mother! I've become an immortal master! I can cultivate now!"

Madam Wang of the Lin Household hugged her son tightly, and seeing Lin Guangren looking as if he had been pulled out of the water, tears immediately streamed down her face.

"Okay, okay..." Her voice trembled. "Our Lin Household, besides your aunt, finally has someone who cultivates."

They had no idea about cultivators or immortal masters before; they thought it was just something from legends.

Later, when he learned that his brother-in-law had this ability, he only dared to watch from afar and never dared to imagine that it could be related to his family.

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, my brother-in-law has also taken his son on the path of cultivation.

Madam Wang of the Lin Household wiped away her tears, pulled Lin Guangren to Shen Jingchuan's side, and knelt down with a thud.

"Brother-in-law, I... I really don't know what to say." She kowtowed. "On behalf of my whole family, thank you."

Shen Jingchuan quickly stepped forward and offered a helping hand, allowing Lin Guangren to lift her up.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" He waved his hand, "We're all family. Guangren is my nephew, it's only right that I help him."

"Just focus on your cultivation from now on and don't waste this natural Root Bone."

Madam Wang of the Lin Household held her son's hand, nodded repeatedly, and tears streamed down her face again.

Shen Jingchuan said goodbye to the woman and children, then turned to find Hu Tieniu and the others.

The three people were talking together when they saw him come in, and they quickly got up.

"Young Master, we've finished our discussion," Hu Tieniu said. "We are confident we can defeat the Government Army in this battle."

Shen Jingchuan sat down. "Tell me about the plan."

"There's only one road down the mountain from the village gate; there's no other way," Hu Tieniu said, pointing to the map. "They have a small fortress directly in front of us, guarded by only a dozen or so men. We can take it down easily."

"There are two more outposts further down the mountain. If we take out all three, we can sneak down the mountain undetected."

"They always thought we only dared to stay on the mountain and wouldn't dare to attack downhill, which is why they set up these three outposts to keep an eye on us."

Shen Jingchuan nodded without interrupting.

"That army down the mountain, supposedly numbering 20,000, actually has less than 10,000 now." Hu Tieniu sneered. "The rest have all gone off to loot and pillage; the camp is basically only left with the Black Armor Army. The border troops are almost wiped out."

"Once we reach the foot of the mountain," he paused, "With the weapons the young master gave us, defeating them will be a piece of cake."

"The Black Armor Army and the border troops are like paper in front of these weapons."

Lin Shan and Lin Yue nodded in agreement.

"We must go down the mountain." Hu Tieniu's voice deepened. "If we don't act now, half the tenant farmers in Yuxi Prefecture will be wiped out. I can't stand it any longer, young master, this battle must be fought."

Shen Jingchuan was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I support you on this point," he said. "To be honest, without what you've said, we could stay on the mountain for a year or two without any problem. But what you've mentioned is a variable—to save more people, I agree."

"What plans have you made?"

"We'll start the attack tomorrow night," Hu Tieniu said.

"Tomorrow night... okay, there's still time." Shen Jingchuan thought for a moment, "I have another trump card for you."

Hu Tieniu's eyes lit up. "Even more powerful than a machine gun?"

"Of course," Shen Jingchuan said, "This thing is not only good for field battles, but also for sieges. It can blow open the city gates directly, eliminating the need for swarm attacks and reducing casualties."

The three exchanged a glance, and each saw shock in the other's eyes.

There's such a thing?

Without wasting words, Shen Jingchuan flipped his hand and took out an aircraft cannon from his Storage Ring.

With a 23mm caliber and a thick, sturdy barrel, it felt heavy when placed on the ground.

The three men crowded around to take a look, none of them having ever seen such a thing before. But just by looking at the caliber of the cannon, they knew this thing was even more ferocious Maxim Machine Gun.

"This is it." Shen Jingchuan patted the cannon.

"This..." Hu Tieniu swallowed hard. "What is this thing?"

"An aircraft cannon," Shen Jingchuan said, "But we can't use it for now. The recoil is too great. You've already experienced the recoil of a machine gun; this is much greater."

"I ordered a car specifically for it, but I didn't bring it with me this time."

He glanced at the sky. "Tonight, I'll go down the mountain and bring this vehicle up for you, then I'll teach you how to use it."

"With this, you will not only be able to defeat these Government Army down the mountain," Shen Jingchuan gazed into the distance, "But also take the opportunity to directly conquer Yuxi Prefecture."
